Wood Mountain Post Historic Park

Original site of the N.W.M.P. Post 1874 - 1918

The Historic Post is a partially restored North West Mounted Police
post. Before the site became the monitor station of Sitting Bull and
his
tribes after the battle at Little Big Horn, the police patrolled the
U.S.-
Canada border.

In the 2 reconstructed buildings, displays depict much of the NWMP
history
as well as that of the Sioux who came to the Wood Mountain area. The
displays
also contain artifacts from two archeaological digs conducted on the
site.

The
museum is fun for kids too. You can use old style hand-cuffs on your
friends,
see an early View-Master (Steropticon), or sit in a 19th century jail
cell.
